A fabulous introduction to persuasive writing for KS2. Children are given a scenario where they must persuade a younger sister that a dog will make a better pet than a cat! The worksheet then scaffolds the process of writing a persuasive argument. First, the children must think of reasons why a dog is preferable to a cat, then find evidence to justify their opinions, and generate a bank of persuasive words and phrases. They finally draw all this information together to write a persuasive speech.

Perfect for Y5 and Y6.
